Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Winner Of The 2008 Washington State Book Award For History/Biographyin Traditional Scholarship, Native Americans Have Been Conspicuously Absent From Urban History. Indians Appear At The Time Of Contact, Are Involved In Fighting Or Treaties, And Then Seem To Vanish, Usually Onto Reservations. In Native Seattle, Coll Thrush Explodes The Commonly Accepted Notion That Indians And Citiesand Thus Indian And Urban Historiesare Mutually Exclusive, That Indians And Cities Cannot Coexist, And That One Must Necessarily Be Eclipsed By The Other. Native People And Places Played A Vital Part In The Founding Of Seattle And In What The City Is Today, Just As Urban Changes Transformed What It Meant To Be Native.On The Urban Indigenous Frontier Of The 1850S, 1860S, And 1870S, Indians Were Central To Town Life. Native Americans Literally Made Seattle Possible Through Their Labor And Their Participation, Even As They Were Made Scapegoats For Urban Disorder. As Late As 1880, Seattle Was Still Very Much A Native Place. Between The 1880S And The 1930S, However, Seattle'S Urban And Indian Histories Were Transformed As The Town Turned Into A Metropolis. Massive Changes In The Urban Environment Dramatically Affected Indigenous People'S Abilities To Survive In Traditional Places. The Movement Of Native People And Their Material Culture To Seattle From All Across The Region Inspired New Identities Both For The Migrants And For The City Itself. As Boosters, Historians, And Pioneers Tried To Explain Seattle'S Historical Trajectory, They Told Stories About Indians: As Hostile Enemies, As Exotic Others, And As Noble Symbols Of A Vanished Wilderness. But By The Beginning Of World War Ii, A New Multitribal Urban Native Community Had Begun To Take Shape In Seattle, Even As It Was Overshadowed By The City'S Appropriation Of Indian Images To Understand And Sell Itself.After World War Ii, More Changes In The City, Combined With The Agency Of Native People, Led To A New Visibility And Authority For Indians In Seattle. The Descendants Of Seattle'S Indigenous Peoples Capitalized On Broader Historical Revisionism To Claim New Authority Over Urban Places And Narratives. At The Beginning Of The Twentyfirst Century, Native People Have Returned To The Center Of Civic Life, Not As Contrived Symbols Of A Whitewashed Past But On Their Own Terms.In Seattle, The Strands Of Urban And Indian History Have Always Been Intertwined. Including An Atlas Of Indigenous Seattle Created With Linguist Nile Thompson, Native Seattle Is A New Kind Of Urban Indian History, A Book With Implications That Reach Far Beyond The Region.
